Figure Drawing Class February 11th, 2013

Was able to attend figure drawing sessions again last night. I really do look forward to these – even on the days that I am not drawing well I enjoy being there working on it. Also it is a great and supportive environment.
You wouldn’t think that someone who gets paid to make art for a living would need other feedback – but I do. I don’t know if all artists are that way… but constructive criticism and the occasional compliment go a long way to getting me through my weeks.

Whatever the reasons, I love going and think that I have grown as an artist for it. I miss it on the weeks that I am unable to attend. I should be able to go again next week and the week following I will be in Detroit – but that should be enough of a distraction to not be too upset about it. Maybe I can talk some of the other tattooers in Detroit into posing for me (that could be fun!).

Anyhow. Enough commentary – here is what I made this week.

And some various shots of what the other folks where working on at various points during the evening:

I am a female tattoo artist and shop owner. I believe in love and creation above fear and destruction. I am a passionate person and respect and admire that in others regardless of where their passion lies.
But at the end of the day, all I want to do is add a little beauty to the world and try to be a blessing in the lives of those around me.

No matter who you are or how you have arrived you are welcome here.
There is no rhyme or reason to the things that I post here - but they are here to share. I believe that all things happen for a reason and while things may not always go the way that I want them to... they do go the way that they are supposed to go.
I hope that rather you are here once or often that you find what you are looking for and that in all things you will find the love that you deserve.
